Colorado native has a eureka moment - sets up "Full Irish Whisky Tour of Ireland" (IrishCentral)

Sun, 10 Mar 2013 04:47:16 PDT

Brian Wess - Full Irish Whisky Heritage TourHere’s the answer to most guys prayers? A Full Irish Whisky Tour of Ireland, led by Brian Wess of Colorado, USANow, what would an American know about Irish whisky you might ask? Well, Brian has spent the last 5 years training with whiskey experts & master distillers while also independently touring the whisky bars and distilleries of Ireland (nice work if you can get it) in an attempt to put together the best whisky tour of Ireland and I think he has succeeded He has even managed to cajole private whiskey tours and tastings out of all the major Irish distilleries including Jamesons, Bushmills, Killbeggan and Tullamore Dew, which is no mean featWhat this means for his customer/clients (limited to just 15 per tour) is that they do not have to queue for a ticket or follow the crowd and do the regular tour, which do not get me wrong are excellent in all of the above, but even I would like to have an audience and tasting with Jameson’s master distiller Barry Crocket, in the Master Distillers Cottage at the Old Midleton Distillery in Cork where he was actually born!It sounds like a match made in heaven a small group of like minded folk doing what they love most, touring Ireland, drinking whisky and having the craic!

Fri, 16 Nov 2012 05:31:10 PST

Mickey FinnsOne of the things I still remember to this day was how the Irish American music community came to help their beloved city after the September 11 attacks 11 years ago Not a day went by that some pipe and drum band or a group of rock and rollers would assemble to run a benefit show for the families of first responders or to defray funeral expenses for families of victim Once again, the community is coming together in a big way in the face of disaster Hurricane Sandy impacted families from the tip of Long Island to the Jersey Shore and beyond, and these shore communities were populated by many Irish families that staked their corner of the sand to build their dream home by the sea READ MORE

From "The Quiet Man" to "The Crying Game" - love of Irish movies at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (IrishCentral)

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 05:30:15 PST

"The Quiet Man"It’s an exciting week in Dublin, as the 10th annual Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (J-DIFF, if you want to sound cool, or just use less syllables) has officially started!I personally love Irish films So much so that I got a Masters studying them, which, arguably, was not the wisest subject to pursue in the middle of a recession, but definitely fascinating – no regrets here There is a great deal of variety and they’ve evolved considerably in the last half a century or so Consider the difference between, say, The Quiet Man and the The Crying Game (the latter having one of the best tag lines ever – ‘The film the everyone is talking about – but no one is giving away its secrets”) READ MORE

The Old Jamesons Distillery - home to Irelands favourite whiskey (IrishCentral)

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 09:20:07 PDT

I have to say I prefer the Old Jameson's Distillery as a visitor attraction to the Guinness Storehouse for the simple reason that the tour here is guided whereas in Guinness’s you are left to your own devices Which can be very pleasant, especially above in the Gravity Bar with a view of the city and a pint in your hand, but for me I want something more?I like to leave a place a little bit wiser and in Jameson's case (a little bit tipsy) having learned something Properly guided tours will do that for you and at Jameson's it’s very well done, just the right length of time and information to hold your attention, finishing up with a genuinely, convivial tasting session in the Jameson's BarPerhaps, when you understand how something is made you appreciate it more? It’s quite amazing how three simple ingredients, barley, water and yeast can be turned into ‘uisce beatha’ or the water of life? And interesting too, how each of the processes, whether it was the malting of the barley, the marrying of the whiskey in casks or the vatting into bottles, shaped the lives and social history of such a small part of Dublin READ MORE
